Controlling invasive bamboo

Why use a professional contractor

For optimal results, it is highly recommended to engage a professional contractor like Chenviro, which possesses the specialized knowledge and expertise necessary for effective management and eradication.

At Chenviro we have thoroughly researched the most effective eradication techniques and concluded that although management with herbicides can be very effective, excavation is the fastest and most reliable method for completely removing bamboo from your property.

Chenviro offers comprehensive herbicide management or excavation services tailored for bamboo infestations of all sizes.

Option 1

Bamboo Excavation

For the immediate removal of bamboo, particularly when a developer is eager to start construction, excavation and removal becomes a necessary approach.

After the excavation and removal of bamboo, regular monitoring of the site is advisable. This vigilance helps detect any potential regrowth, allowing for timely application of herbicides, or a hand tool excavation if necessary.

While excavation may entail a higher initial cost compared to other methods, it is often the most effective and efficient solution for managing invasive bamboo and enabling a quicker path to construction. And for property owners, the fastest way to safeguard their investments while maintaining the integrity of their landscape.

Option 2

Bamboo Herbicide Eradication Programme

Excavation and removal may not always be an option, therefore Chenviro offer tailored herbicide treatment plans. Our tailored treatment plan is spread across 3-5 years to achieve complete eradication.

  • Typically, this method is less expensive compared to more invasive removal techniques.
  • Treatment can be applied directly to the rhizomes, reducing the risk of spreading bamboo to new areas.
  • This helps mitigate damage to buildings and infrastructure from bamboo growth.

Please note: achieving significant results can take many years, particularly with established culms. Strategies that rely solely on herbicides require at least two years of monitoring after signs of growth have ceased. Herbicide treatment is not recommended for areas planned for future construction or soil disturbance. Ongoing construction cannot take place in areas still affected by bamboo; risks associated with landscaping treated soils, such as possible regrowth, should be communicated to clients.

Option 3

Root Barrier Installation

Chenviro offer vertical root barrier installation services to stop bamboo from encroaching into third-party land or, where possible, contain bamboo you want to keep.
